RE: etch upgrade problem [ "Seth Goodman" <sethg@goodmanassoci ]
Well, a bit premature on solved status. The upgrade from Sarge to Etch
did complete after killing the screensaver process, but it did not leave
the system in a good state. Minor problems include Postgre failing on
boot, as well as a mini-DNS server that I don't believe was in Sarge
failing to start, but the main problem is that X is inoperable.

I had the same problem when I upgraded sarge to etch some time ago.
The solution was to add psmouse to /etc/modules. Check out lsmod and
see if it's listed already, but I'd guess not.
(sorry for the subject line, I'm on digest)
